Acceptance of any contribution, gift or grant is at the discretion of the Save the Earth Co-Operative Ltd "AKA The Save the Earth". The Save the Earth will not accept any gift unless it can be used or expended consistently with the purpose and mission of the Save the Earth.

No irrevocable gift, whether outright or life-income in character, will be accepted if under any reasonable set of circumstances the gift would jeopardize the donor’s financial security.

The Save the Earth will refrain from providing advice about the tax or other treatment of gifts and will encourage donors to seek guidance from their own professional advisers to assist them in the process of making their donation.

The Save the Earth will accept donations of cash or publicly traded securities. Gifts of in-kind services will be accepted at the discretion of the Save the Earth.

Certain other gifts, real property, personal property, in-kind gifts, non-liquid securities, and contributions whose sources are not transparent or whose use is restricted in some manner, must be reviewed prior to acceptance due to the special obligations raised or liabilities they may pose for Save the Earth.

The Save the Earth will provide acknowledgments to donors meeting tax requirements for property received by the Co-Operative as a gift. However, except for gifts of cash and publicly traded securities, no value shall be ascribed to any receipt or other form of substantiation of a gift received by Save the Earth.

The Save the Earth will respect the intent of the donor relating to gifts for restricted purposes and those relating to the desire to remain anonymous. With respect to anonymous gifts, the Save the Earth will restrict information about the donor to only those staff members with a need to know.

The Save the Earth will not compensate, whether through commissions, finders' fees, or other means, any third party for directing a gift or a donor to the Save the Earth.

My name is Tessa Patterson and I’m from Cheshire in the UK. I’ve joined Save the Earth Cooperative because I believe that the earth needs our help. Our world is slowly being poisoned, not just by the chemicals used in agriculture, but our land, oceans and rivers are polluted and full of plastics and other waste. As a result, animals, birds, insects and fish are dying.

Humans are in trouble too, and I think that our diet is responsible for a lot of the problems. The type of “food” most people eat today is a far cry from what we should be eating. The modern western diet is heavily processed which is causing obesity and disease. I should really like to try and help reverse this trend.

I studied at agricultural college (a long time ago!) and have grown organic fruit and vegetables ever since. When my children were little I used to encourage them to help me in the garden. Looking back, I’m glad I did, as they eat healthy food and can cook too – which means I get a night off sometimes!

In the garden, I like to work with nature rather than against it; making the most of beneficial animals and insects to help me. I make use of recycled materials wherever possible to grow food and I’d really like to share my experiences (good and bad) with everyone, and write about growing and preparing real food cheaply, easily and successfully.

I have published four cookbooks over the past three years and I also enjoy art, writing, music, wildlife and am very interested in health and nutrition.
